Florida’s Most and Least Stressed Out Zip Codes
January 14, 2015
If you’ve recently made the move to the Sunshine State, or are planning a move in the near future, you know that some places in Florida are pretty mellow, and other places are pretty high-stress.
The popular real estate blog Movoto recently did an interesting study. They looked at several factors in various cities and zip codes to discern which zip codes were the “most stressed” and “least stressed” places. They used a list of factors including “unemployment rates, median household income, percent of income spent on rent, monthly selected homeowner costs as a percent of income, percent of families below the poverty line, average commute time, percent of the population without health insurance and hours worked per week.”
Here’s what Movoto found out about Florida.
Most Stressed Zip Codes
Despite being the young & beautiful hot spot of Florida, Miami has the most zip codes that are “stressed,” including 33136, 33150, and 33127. 32113 in Citra ended up being considered the most stressed, followed closely by spots in Pahokee and Gretna.
Least Stressed Zip Codes
Some of these were actually a surprise to a lot of people. Is anywhere in Orlando really low stress? Well, it is if you consider the parameters of the survey, which include unemployment rates, it sure it. And because 32831 has literally zero unemployment, it ends up being a pretty stress-free zip code. 32312 in Tallahassee and parts of McIntosh (32664) are also in this category. And not surprisingly, 34228 in Longboat Key is also pretty low-stress. But really, how stressed can you be when you live on a beautiful Floridian island?!?
